“And I was meant to be presenting a show on LBC from 6 til 9, I’m normally quite a trooper at this stuff,” she explained, adding that there was no way she could continue with her day in that amount of pain.
“Luckily managed to get seen at hospital quite quickly thank goodness because I was just in agony, I couldn’t sit down, I couldn’t lie down, I didn’t know what to do, the pain was absolutely astounding,” she said.
Doctors discovered the source of here pain was a “big kidney stone” that required surgery.
”Never had one in my life before,” she said. A scan showed it was 5mm.
